Incredible Surgeon, Could Not Be Happier! - Manhattan, NY

A little of my story ....
I had always been overweight and I was teased incessantly growing up for being fat. Towards the end of highschool, I ended up in a class with a few of the boys who used to tease me the most, and I was so scared. But as weeks went on, we were placed in groups and they got to know me. By the end of the semester some of them even apologized. But, as people say, you can always forgive but you will never forget. Those words never went away, and food had already become my comfort.

As I grew up, graduated college, then got my masters, I took a look at my life and realized everything was going in such a positive direction. Why couldn't I be happy? Answer (and always the answer at this point in my life): My weight. Somewhere a lightbulb went off and I got it together, went to trainers, changed my food, lost weight, gained a little back, lost weight, gained, lost weight, lost weight, kept loosing weight, lost 60 pounds. Proved to myself that after loosing the weight I could keep it off, which I have done now for 2.5 years and then hit another plateau. My stomach won't move. Well that was probably because I am 5'3 and was over 230 at my highest point, and now I had all this extra skin. I am 27 years old, shouldn't I love my body? Shouldn't I feel sexy? YES. So, I made the decision to undergo the tummy tuck procedure, and decided since I was unhappy already with my breasts, to get a breast augmentation.

Well, my surgery was March 20, 2013 (just about a week ago now), and already what I am seeing is life changing. Its been such an emotional experience for me, and now I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
